A beautifully-enclosed veranda provides tree-top views of NYC, and an additional, splendid wraparound balcony adds 300 views of New Jersey and the Long Island Sound. There's even a fresh water well in the garage! Private, coveted hilltop location yet close to all, with a less than 30-minute commute to Manhattan. Stately, grand home with a commanding presence, and in a neighborhood that defined the refined urban lifestyle "just north of town." Truly, a special offering not to be missed. In contract, but still showing for back-ups. Contact listing agent!
